She signed a deal with Universal Music at just 13 and scored her first No. 1 hit, “Royals,” at age 16. The latter made her the youngest person to top the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 since Tiffany, who was also 16 (but a few months younger than Lorde) when “I Think We’re Alone Now” accomplished the feat in 1987.

And, no, Tiffany doesn’t hold the record for being the youngest. That reportedly belongs to Stevie Wonder, who did it with “Fingertips Pt 2” in 1963 at the age of 13.

But back to Lorde … So, like we said, she hasn’t had to wait long for success.

But she has to wait a long LONG time for something else.

Indeed, she says she’s waited half her life for this. Doing the math, that means the 21-year-old singer has waited – where’s the calculator? – um, well, over 10 years for sure.

And what has she been waiting for? Well, of course, it’s the animated movie “Incredibles 2”! The movie is due out in June.

Just can’t get enough BottleRock? Well, the festival has announced a full lineup of aftershows and other concerts, featuring such acts as Michael Franti, Shakey Graves, Lake Street Drive, Thievery Corporation in San Francisco, Napa, Berkeley and Sacramento.
